Motueka Garden Motel

Clean motel on the outskirts of the town . Although the decor was slightly dated facilities were clean and the use of bbq a bonus . We had a problem with the hot water but the owner was extremely prompt in sorting the problem out . It was about a 30 minute walk into town . Plenty to do and see in the area .

First of all, the accommodation is good, but quite dated... I think based on the photos we did see when we booked it we had quite high expectations. The room was clean, kitchen and bathroom felt like from the 80s a bit... The beds were comfy so no issues here at all. The pools was good, kids used it couple times. The outside space looked like a bit abandoned and the bbq area got quite a bit of cobwebs. The internet was a pain as we were given codes with a 2GB or 20GB value. Some were already used up... and often we had to log back into again and again to get it going. Overall good place, but overrated a bit...

We were in unit 22. Easy access, easy parking with no carport. Room was dated but clean. Bed was firm but comfy enough and we slept well. Very quiet. Close to town. Nothing to complain about but still it didn't sit well with us. It was OK but wouldn't choose to stay there again.

Very welcoming and generous owners, to 4 damp and splattered cyclists arriving from Tapawera. The breakfast was excellent value for $10 pp. Comfortable room and amenities. Would certainly recommend.

Room was clean and quite the only good things. Small and very dated. Old bed and bathroom not up to standards. Overrated and did not match their web page. Nice place if classified low budget. I would not recommend for average traveler.

Fantastic motel and complex. Very nice tidy units. Swimming pool. playground. Plenty of room for boats. Very friendly helpful owners and staff. A1. Would recommend anyone to stay there. Already booked next December. Garden Motel Motueka.

On check out: Me: thanks, here's the key, just want to let you know that there is no insulation at the side or from the unit on top. Him: yeah well they're wooden floorboards and people justs have to get used to it. Me: Um, I paid a full night to sleep here and all i heard was a lot of banging, voices, running up and down, people going to the toilet and a couple having (brief) sex. Him: Yeah a lot of people tell me that. Me: Oh, don't you think you should do something about it?!? (silence) Me: I guess I better write some reviews and let people know they wont get a good nights sleep (silence)

One night stay. Comments refer to our studio room- no22. We did not use the pool area or the trampoline! Good: clean room with comfy bed and pillows. Usual cooking facilities. Pictures on wall to brighten room Quiet Garden surrounds Less good: tiny shower/ loo External appearance is quite shabby Small towels… For a single night- fine. We went off to walk in Abel Tasman which is reached easily in about 20 minutes.

Totally fit for purpose. Comfortable pet friendly efficient helpful contacts and check in/out. Other than current roadworks convenient location. Can recommend this for a stop over or short stay. If we need to go back there this will be the first choice
